 CONFIGURATION
 -------------
-By default, file and directories modes are set to 0666 or 0777 in tar
-archives.  It is possible to change this by setting the "umask" variable
-in the repository configuration as follows :
-
-[tar]
-        umask = 002	;# group friendly
 
-The special umask value "user" indicates that the user's current umask
-will be used instead. The default value remains 0, which means world
-readable/writable files and directories.
+tar.umask::
+	This variable can be used to restrict the permission bits of

+	world write bit.  The special value "user" indicates that the
